ARIENTI, CARLO, born in Milan in
1800, died in Bologna, April 3, 1873.
History painter, pupil of the schools of the
Brera, Milan; was professor at the Milan
Academy when called to Turin by King
Charles Albert, who ordered him to paint
for the staircase of the palace a victory of
the Italians over the Austrians. This exiled
him from Milan, but he was made president
of the Academia Albertini, Turin, and afterward
director of the Bologna Academy.

Phædra and Hippolytus, Francesca da
Rimini, Origin of the Lombard League

ARIOSTO, portrait, Titian, Cobham Hall,
England; canvas, H. 2 ft. 9 in. × 2 ft. 1 in.;
signed. The poet is walking, the upper
part of his body seen in profile behind a
parapet, the face turned toward the spectator.
History unknown; not certainly a
portrait of Ariosto, but may be the picture
of the Lopez collection, sold in London in
time of Charles I.; and this in turn may
have been the portrait which Baruffaldi says
was sent to Padua in 1554 by Ariosto's son
Virginio. The copy formerly in the Palazzo
Manfrini passed to Barker collection in 1857,
and was afterward sold. Other copies in
the Vicenza Gallery, in the Tosi collection
at Brescia, and in the Butler-Johnstone collection,
London.—C. & C., Titian, i. 197;
Baruffaldi's Ariosto, 251.
